On September 10, the boys soccer team defeated Arthur Lovington Atwood Hammond 5-2. "When we play simple and actually play our game, we work together as a team and get the job done," said Ashley Dawson, assistant coach.

“They [ALAH] had good speed up top and towards the first half, they really worked together as a unit and attacked our backline effectively,” said Mathew Rund, head coach. “It threw us off balance at the start, because we were overmanned at times so we started to lose a little focus but we ended up getting it back.”

The first half started off with a goal by the Hawks in the thirty-seventh minute by Hamilton. Then ALAH followed up with a goal by McClain. In the ninth minute, Hopkins, a freshman who started his first varsity game, scored his first varsity goal.

“We really excelled in framing the goal to have the best opportunity to score,” said Hamilton, one of four captains.

In the second half, the first goal scored was by Day in the thirty-seventh minute. In the thirty-sixth minute, there was an own goal on ALAH’s Chilton Ingram in favor of the Hawks. Then ALAH followed up with a goal by Manaye Morfey. Early in the fourteenth minute, Hamilton scored again, which was the last goal of the game.

“When we play simple and actually play our game, we work together as a team and get the job done,” said Ashley Dawson, assistant coach.

The Meridian boys will host Decatur Eisenhower on September 12, at 4:30.
